Asbestos is the name of a group of naturally occurring mineral fibers whose unique properties make them ideal for common use in building materials and construction. Asbestos is sturdy and does not easily deteriorate. It also does not conduct electricity and is resistant to fire, heat and corrosion.Unfortunately, it is also dangerous, so stringent asbestos exposure limits and safety protocols must be kept. Short-term asbestos exposure, normally work exposure incidents that last less than a couple of days, can lead to a small increase in future health risk. Long-term exposure, however, can cause asbestos fibers to build up in the body and cause severe health effects such as lung damage or cancer. The OSHA standard exists to protect workers from harmful asbestos exposure.This training course will help your workers understand the types of materials that may contain asbestos, how to minimize their exposure risk, and measures they can take to protect their health while working with this dangerous mineral.
